Innsbruck


The amazing group of people that is TV (Tirol/Vorarlberg) went on a little trip this past weekend. We all gathered in Innsbruck for a reunion and a celebration of making through our first two weeks of teaching. Most came by bus or train and one came by bike (just a gentle little 7 hour bike ride over the mountains…no big).

After a bit of sightseeing (and declaring that Innsbruck’s big attraction, the Golden Roof, is fairly overrated), my British friend Manny and I met up with another lovely Brit named Alicia for an Augustiner.

Sorry Innsbruck...I'm underwhelmed with this

After that we went and met up with everyone at our friend Lauren’s place. It’s basically a Jugendherberge (hostel) with a Studentenheim (dorm) on the side. Coincidentally, several other mutual friends of TV also live there.  So, it was a good spot…minus the fact that poor Lauren got chewed out the next morning by the ladies at the front desk for having a lot of overnight guests…whoops!

We had a very fun (and much needed) night with English-speaking friends.


Men of Vorarlberg with Al Pacino's pizza sign I thought was inexplicably funny


I liked Innsbruck a lot. It’s a real city yet still feels small. Innsbruck also has the added bonus of incredible 360° views. Almost everywhere in that place has a view of snow covered mountains. It’s a dream. 

And now...lot's of pictures





really? I highly doubt my paper cup that had warm coke in it could be considered a treasure.

And lastly, for comedic value, a sticker I found to be amusing...
and no, I have no idea what they meant by that
